Fried Dough Recipes

FRIED DOUGH

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients in large bowl. Blend in shortening with pastry blender. Stir in milk with a fork until soft dough is formed.
• On lightly floured surface, knead dough 2 or 3 times. Cut into fourths, form each piece into a circle. Roll to 1/2 inch thickness.
• Place two at a time into the deep fat fryer, turning to brown evenly on both sides. Cook for 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

THERA'S CANADIAN FRIED DOUGH

Steps:

• Mix warm water, yeast, and 1 pinch of sugar in a large bowl, and let stand until the yeast begins to foam and form a creamy layer, about 5 minutes. Stir in milk, 1/3 cup sugar, salt, vanilla extract, eggs, and 1/3 cup vegetable oil until the sugar has dissolved. Mix in about half the whole-wheat flour, and stir until the dough is too stiff to add more flour. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a ball, place into an oiled bowl, and cover. Let rise until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch down the dough, knead a few times to reshape it, and pinch off a piece of dough about the size of an egg. Roll the dough ball out into an oval shape about 1/4 inch thick. Place finished fried dough on a cloth and cover while you finish rolling out the pastries.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large, deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Oil should be at least 4 inches deep. Combine 2 cups of sugar with cinnamon to taste in a shallow dish or pie plate, and set aside.
• Gently lower the pastries, one at a time, into the hot oil, and fry 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Blot excess oil from fried pastries with paper towels; gently press each pastry into the cinnamon sugar while still warm. Shake off excess sugar.

FRIED DOUGH

Steps:

• Pour some oil into a heavy-bottomed pot and heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 400 degrees F.
• Cut the pastry scraps into thin strips. Drop the strips into the hot oil, in batches if necessary, and fry for about 30 seconds, flipping. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

QUICK & EASY FRIED DOUGH RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Work in the cold butter, using a pastry blender, your fingers, or a mixer. Stir in the warm water to make a soft dough. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Divide the dough into eight pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll into a thin 5" round. Heat 1/4" vegetable oil to 375°F in an electric frying pan, or in a pan over a burner. If you're not using an electric frying pan, you'll have to guesstimate the temperature of the oil in your stove-top pan. Pick up one dough disk, and carefully lower it into the pan. Let it cook for 45 to 60 seconds (it'll puff up on top and become brown on the bottom), then flip it over and cook till brown on the other side, about 45 seconds. Remove from the oil and set on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Place in a 200°F oven to keep warm while you make the remaining fried doughs. Serve warm, with maple syrup or cider syrup; confectioners' sugar, or cinnamon sugar; or the topping of your choice.

FRIED BREAD DOUGH (OR PIZZA DOUGH)

Steps:

• Cut off a piece of dough, and roll it out on a well floured surface. I usually make them about the size of the frying pan I'm using.
• Heat some olive oil in a frying pan, over medium high heat (it doesn't need to be non-stick.) Make sure the pan is very hot, then place the dough in the pan.
• It will begin to rise, and bubbles will appear. Once it is golden brown underneath, turn it over.
• When golden brown on the second side, remove to a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with remaining dough.

FRIED BREAD DOUGH

Steps:

• Spray a large platter or bowl with cooking spray.
• Place the two frozen loaves on the platter or bowl and cover with plastic wrap that has also been sprayed (the spray will help the dough not to stick as you are cutting it off in the morning).
• Place in an unheated oven, out of the way of drafts, about ten hours before you want to fry it.
• In the morning, place the vegetable oil in a heavy pan about three inches deep.
• Heat the oil on medium high so that when a very small piece of dough is dropped in the oil, it sizzles.
• With a very sharp knife, slices off hunks of dough about the size of small baseball and pull them slightly so that they stretch out.
• Place in hot oil and brown on one side and then turn with fork and brown the other side.
• When done, drain on paper towels and repeat the process.
• Serve hot with butter (and I like a little salt on them), sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
• You may also try cinnamon and sugar or maple syrup.

FRIED DOUGH EASY RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Add butter to this mixture and blend the contents well. It would be great if you could use a blender for this step. Now, add the lukewarm water little by little into the bowl and mix all the contents to form a smooth dough. Cover the bowl, and leave the dough to get set well for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, open the lid, and cut the soft dough into 8 pieces. Take one piece and make a thin roll from it. Repeat the step for the other 8 pieces. Now, your dough is ready, and you should prepare the oil for frying the dough. In a heavy-bottomed pan, pour about 2 cups of oil and heat it on medium-high flame. Once the oil is heated well, check the temperature by dropping a small piece of dough in the oil. If the dough leaves bubbles and rises to the top of the surface, the oil is hot enough for you to fry the dough. Alternatively, you can also use a thermometer to check if the oil has become hot enough for frying. The oil is ready to be used when it reaches a temperature of 375 degrees F. Now, drop the dough rolls that you have made into the oil, one by one. Let one side of the roll puff up well and rise to the top, before you flip it over and cook the other side as well. Take the roll once both sides have turned light brown. Repeat this step for the other discs as well. Place the fried rolls on a paper towel to drain out the oil from them. Fried dough rolls are now ready. It is now time for you to personalize it as you want. You can use granulated sugar, salted butter, maple syrup, cider syrup, cinnamon sugar and any other topping of your choice over these fried dough discs, and enjoy them instantly.
